Don’t think Duren deserves a mx 5 for 287 deal. Sounds like he wants 40 a year from Pistons… Assume in your proposal you think Kings could get him to sign for 40 a year worst case? Any more they should run away and def not give a first round pick to overpay.

Just saw this on another site and thought it was a good trade.
Denver - Portland
Denver sends Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, and Zeke Nanji (sp)
Portland - Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday, and 2029 1st rd
Portland gets more young depth, and Denver gets backcourt dept with possibly getting under the first apron. What do you think?

That pick is going the wrong way. Braun and Nnaji are negative contracts. Cam’s value is down. Jrue is still really good. And Scoot is easily the best young player in the deal.
Heck, I might want two firsts going to Portland to do this.

Portland not even considering trading Jrue for those contracts, let alone adding Scoot and a 1st.

Two restricted player left:
1. Jalen Duren and the Pistons still negotiating.. probably 34-40 M per year??
2. With Beal and Strus and having Dick in incoming trade, Mathurin will be on another team.. Bulls, Pelicans and Bucks are the primarily suitors..
I'm still awaiting DeRozan to be in Nuggets, Heat or Raptors for a vet minimum..
but Heat could lose the chance because they're awaiting Klay from Mavs for buyout or via trade..
Jonathan Kuminga is another Big name that could land in Lakers or TWolves via sign and trade..
If these names are already sign up, it's time to start the NBA..
Kings : Zion Williamson & RJ Barrett
- Reunites the old Duke buddies
Acuff Jr
Barrett
Murray
Williamson
Raynaud
Pelicans : Domantas Sabonis
- Gets their center surrounded by solid and athletic wing defenders
Murray
Fears
Jones
Murphy
Sabonis
Raptors : Zach LaVine
- gets a huge expiring contract who can also help them win now
Quickley
LaVine
Leonard
Barnes
Murray-Boyles
Might have to send Poeltl to a 4th team to even up money.

Scoring wise this trade makes sense but im not trading Barrett for LaVine that would be stupid you would definitely send Poeltl away but even then you lose a big and we only have 1.
